Índice para November 2013 em Harper's Bazaar

BAZAAR CELEBRATES fearlessness as much as fashion. So it's fitting that November's Daring issue is thick with individuals who have forged their own paths and stand out from the pack. Jean Paul Gaultier, who is featured in "My List" (page 123) and is the subject of a retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum, has never shied away from the outré. His clothes, which run the gamut from Virgin Mary–inspired getups to masked bodysuits, are consistently brilliant and transgressive. Goga Ashkenazi, Vionnet's owner and creative director, is always ready for a challenge too. In addition to being a business mogul and a mother, she dived into the fashion world and now is the talk of the town. In this issue, she opens her Milan home and gives us an up-close look at…

The Coppola clan is known for turning out Oscar-winning filmmakers, so it comes as no surprise to discover that Gia Coppola—granddaughter of Francis Ford and niece of Sofia—is a f ledgling director. Her feature debut, Palo Alto, based on James Franco's short stories about disillusioned and reckless youths in California, received raves on the fall film festival circuit. (The cast includes Emma Roberts, Franco, and newcomer Jack Kilmer, son of Val.) Something else that got rave reviews as Gia made the rounds? Her style. Which could be genetic too, since she's the daughter of fashion plate Jacqui Getty. Lately Gia has been spotted in graphic Proenza Schouler dresses, a sleek strapless Zac Posen mermaid number, and a cutout Christopher Kane. But she's more than a red-carpet darling: This little lady…

NEW YORK jewelry designer Alexis Bittar has long been a go-to for statement baubles, and now he's upping the ante with a collection that fuses 1950s femininity with '90s edge. The new direction was a natural next step for Bittar. "People always say I'm prolific because I design so many collections," he says. "I think schizophrenic would be closer to the truth. So why not design fine jewelry too?" Christine Whitney THE GEM SHOW A century has passed since the Cheapside Hoard—a cache of 16th- and 17th-century jewels and gemstones found in a London cellar in 1912—has been on public display. Now, the British mining company Gemfields, along with Fabergé and Coutts, has brought these treasures to the Museum of London, where they'll be on view through next April. BEARD'S…

I LEARNED the hard way decades ago that when someone stabs you in the back, reacting before you think can start a feud. In Hollywood, where one can easily be stabbed twice before lunch and possibly while driving and sleeping, feuding could turn into a full-time job. I remember my first time being backstabbed vividly. I walked into my office and found a new colleague riffling through my files. Stunned, I asked what he was doing. "Nothing," he said and walked out. I looked all over the office for a script an agent had submitted for consideration at that morning's "read" meeting, at which both my colleague and I, as development execs, were due to present projects to the boss—but it was nowhere to be found. Fortunately I liked the…

When Goga Ashkenazi picked up stakes in London last year and headed for Milan, European high society waited with bated breath to see what would happen next. The Oxford-educated oil mogul—who now helms the venerable French fashion house Vionnet—had taken England by storm, stirring London's staunch upper echelons and giving the tabloids a field day over her glitzy outings with Prince Andrew, her £28 million ($44.6 million) Holland Park manse, and her glittering array of former flames—from Fiat heir Lapo Elkann to Kazakh billionaire Timur Kulibayev, the father of her two young sons. "Now I'm a Milanese, darling!" says Ashkenazi, who moved into the first two stories of a lilac-shuttered 19th-century palazzo in the city's Centro Storico neighborhood last fall. "It's great, isn't it?" she asks rhetorically, flinging open the…

FIND YOUR PERFECT FRAGRANCE Your guide to selecting the season's standout scents IN 2012, A WHOPPING 1,330 FRAGRANCES launched worldwide, and this year will be no different. Overwhelming, yes, but the good news is, you don't have to pick just one. In fact, you shouldn't pick just one. Similar to how you update your wardrobe by the season, you need to refresh your fragrance collection too. Think of your bottles as accessories for your various styles. "Women tend to choose a scent they like for the season and wear it constantly," says perfumer Roja Dove, "but you wouldn't wear a sports bra to the Oscars or a ball gown to the gym, and the same is true for perfumes. You need a balanced wardrobe." Consider also some new, nontraditional forms…

AT THE EXHALE SPA on Manhattan's Central Park South, aesthetician Livia Fagaras shines a bright light on my face, pinches, prods, and finally proclaims that my skin "has potential." While I mumble apologies about being a dermatological underachiever, she attaches an electrode on my back under my shoulder that's connected to the ultrasound machine by her side. Flashbacks of surgery ensue, and I have to remind myself that I am here for beautification, not hospitalization. The Ultrasonic Facial (price: $200), after all, is supposed to help my skin rejuvenate, renew, and otherwise radiate. Fagaras's soft voice and gentle touch banish any trepidation as she begins to exfoliate my face with a blade that uses high-speed oscillations powered by ultrasound waves to loosen dead skin cells. (Think ticklish electrical currents, not…

The April 1965 issue of Bazaar celebrated the explosion of Pop art, the Beatles, and the youthquake with a visionary portfolio by Richard Avedon. But no image seemed strong enough to carry the cover: Avedon had photographed the model Jean Shrimpton in an impossible hat, and he hated the film. "We were stuck," says Ruth Ansel, then the magazine's co–art director. So, mere minutes before the deadline, Ansel resorted to collage, cutting out a circle of Day-Glo paper and concealing Shrimpton's hat under a makeshift hot-pink space helmet. To Ansel's surprise, the cover went on to become iconic. "At the very moment you're creating, you never recognize that you might be doing something that time will give a favorable review," she says.…

An editor's style picks Bazaar fashion market editor Mallory Schlau shares her must-haves My fiancé got me these necklaces from Phoenix Roze (1), my favorite jewelry store, as a birthday gift. I never take them off. Slipdresses are ideal for evenings out, and this one from Adam Lippes (2) is a great update of the '90s classic. My uniform is pants and a button-down shirt, and I love the contrast collar on this shirt from Band of Outsiders (3). Because I wear heels all week, I live in sneakers on the weekends, and I'm always comfortable in my new lightweight Nikes (4). I've been using this Clinique moisturizer (5) since I was in middle school. I'm obsessed with Céline's Trio bag (6). It's tiny but still fits everything I need;…

My favorite morning show, La Matinale, on Canal +, was canceled, and I haven't found a proper replacement yet. I watch the i-Télé's La Chronique Culture with Marie Colmant, but mostly the music channels like MCM, W9, MTV Base, or Télé Melody, a channel with French retro music from the '60s and '70s. I used to watch MTV, but now it is focused too much on reality shows. TV is very important in my life; when I was growing up, I used to watch it at my grandmother's, and she'd let me watch…

SO WHAT EXACTLY does it mean to dress with a dash of daring? There are as many interpretations as the day is long: For stylist Julia von Boehm, it's wearing white over black underwear; for Style Bubble blogger Susie Lau, it's pairing Céline trousers with a kimono; and for Ana Maria Pimentel, fashion director for women's accessories at Neiman Marcus, it's as simple as swapping your clutch for a chic backpack, like the ones at Proenza Schouler and the Row. It's impossible to broach the subject without a nod to the doyennes of original dressing, like Iris Apfel and the late Anna Piaggi, who basically wrote the book on daring. Apfel's oversize round glasses are an instantly recognizable signature that adds excitement to anything she wears. And Piaggi's eccentric getups,…

MUST-SEE EXHIBITIONS TAKING INSPIRATION from Hitchcock thrillers, Weegee, and Where's Waldo?, Los Angeles-based artist Alex Prager's hypervivid work hits the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., marking her first solo American museum show. "Face in the Crowd"—a collection featuring large-scale photographs of people at airports, beaches, and movie theaters—strikes a surrealist note with its lushly detailed Technicolor dreamscapes and culminates in a film starring Elizabeth Banks. Meanwhile, husband-and-wife duo Rob and Nick Carter bring a technological revolution to London's Fine Art Society Contemporary with "Transforming," their mind-bending multimedia exhibition of pixilated paintings. Museumgoers on these shores can marvel at Transforming Still Life Painting, the couple's take on a work by the Old Master painter Ambrosius Brosschaert, at New York's Frick Collection. Shown on a framed computer monitor, the three-hour…

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23–DECEMBER 21 Some situations may have made you feel anxious lately, but by mid-November you'll have a better idea of what you should or shouldn't worry about. You may even be able to help and advise those close to you who are losing confidence. They'll need it. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Everyone is gifted, but some never open the package. CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20 No matter how keen you are to make changes to your home or family setup, listen to the viewpoint of those less adventurous than you. If forced to make adjustments that leave everybody feeling more content, then that's what you must do. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Self-respect is the cornerstone of everything you build. AQUARIUS JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19 After a period of confusion, you're…

"There was always a lot to see and be inspired by, growing up in New York in the '70s," says Lenny Kravitz, who made his interior design debut a decade ago, when he started his own firm. "People had a lot of flair." Taking inspiration from the likes of Miles Davis and Gordon Parks, the rocker turned Renaissance man creates interiors with soulful elegance: Zebra prints, Togo quilted sofas, and plush deep-pile carpets exude dramatic opulence, while black-and-white Walker Evans photographs vie with vibrant Warhols and gold Pedro Friedeberg Hand chairs. "It's definitely got to be maximum vibe," he explains. "Sexy and warm—sophisticated yet still approachable." Splitting his time between a town house in Paris's 16th Arrondissement, a customized Airstream trailer and recording studio in the Bahamas, and an organic…

DRAMATIC LINER Anna Sui's intense liquid-lined cat eye is easy to translate for every day, and can give your eyes the illusion of a lift. How-to from Chanel makeup artist Angela Levin: Gently pull the outer edge of your lids, then trace lashes with a thin line. Flick your liner brush slightly upward at the outer corners. Dolce & Gabbana Make Up Duo Mascara Curl and Volume in Nero, $32 Lancôme Artliner 24H Eyeliner in Black Diamond, $30 PURPLE POUTS Let Fendi's sharply lined, vampy matte (much edgier than classic red) serve as your lip inspiration this season. Make the look wearable by skipping harsh lip liner, applying the shade straight from the tube, and keeping the rest of your makeup minimal. Chanel Pure Shine Long Wear Lip Gloss in…

FASHION ICON MICHELLE HARPER If you've been to any recent New York fashion event, chances are you've come across Harper, the extravagantly dressed brand consultant and model who's been known to shave the sides of her head and show up to couture shows in hot pants and elevator shoes. When it comes to daring dressers, she's the thirtysomething answer to Anna Piaggi. For Harper, daring means "taking risks and not following the herd—following your heart even if it means being different." She practices what she preaches. "I've lived my dreams irrespective of what those around me tell me to do or think I should do." Christine Whitney MOST DARING FEAT: SURFING. "FROM NOW ON, I'M REMAINING ON LAND." POLITICO: AUDREY GELMAN You may know Gelman best from Girls. But offscreen…

As Bazaar's beauty director, I report on a lot of makeup trends—some indescribably beautiful, others downright mad. I assumed that vivid lip shades like amethyst, emerald, and topaz would fall into the looks-good-only-on-Gaga category, but, well, I was wrong. I dabbed on Dolce & Gabbana's purple lacquer, designed by makeup artist Pat McGrath. She promised that it can be "young, ironic" or "grown-up, sophisticated." I marveled at how much I liked my gemmed-out lips. The shade is quite pretty, with a modern holographic finish. M.A.C.'s bold Who's That Chick ($16.50) reminded me of a coveted JAR orange sapphire ring, and was stunning on a colleague with olive skin. Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Athena ($25), a gold topaz, looked rich and luminous layered over a ruby hue—still the chicest jewel shade…

THE ONLY THING to fear is fear itself. That's my personal motto, and it's one that has taken me a long way. In 1985, I called an executive at a British media group from a pay phone and requested an audience with him the next day. I had no editorial experience whatsoever and no industry connections, but I left our meeting with £10,000 to start a magazine. I live my life that way: I'm less concerned with what people think than about creating destiny. Which is why Bazaar's November issue celebrates daring—those who embody that "seize the day" attitude, who take risks, and who aren't afraid to be laughed at. The stars of this issue, including Madonna, our cover girl, and Marina Abramovic´, made their way to the top by…

Many years ago, the editor of Harper's Bazaar, Carmel Snow, made a grand pronouncement. "Elegance," she declared, possibly snapping on gloves as she spoke, "is good taste plus a dash of daring." And Ms. Snow was right, boiling down style to a digestible formula. But I would argue that daring in itself is elegance. Why have a dash when you can have a dollop? Why run—as Bazaar's Diana Vreeland so famously did—when you can gallop? Daring is the woman who follows her own path, even if it's to the office, the gym, or the school run. It's not where you travel, is it? It's how. Today's patron saint of daring, Tilda Swinton, carved her own path from the start. While she does not, in fact, live with both her older…

FRENCH TWIST Louis Vuitton's Resort 2014 collection is all about sophisticated ease A new season is upon us: resort—the collections with the longest shelf life in stores. And it's a good thing, since it provides ample time to snap up as many pieces as possible, starting with this Louis Vuitton white-on-white number. Women's design director Julie de Libran says she was inspired by "the French girl"—and it's definitely got a certain je ne sais quoi. Louis Vuitton top, skirt, bag, and sandals. 866-VUITTON.

AGE THIRTEEN, still weighing in the double digits in a Texas town where buxom was the rage, I faced the rack of soft pastel dresses as some might a firing squad. Mother was taking me to the opera in far-off Beaumont, and I wanted nothing so much as a black dress—fluid, sophisticated. Her closet bloomed black. They smelled of menthol cigarettes and leather and rose attar. Black was the color of limousines and the Eiffel Tower; it was mascara; black was poetry. But I swam in any adult size—the only garments that came dark enough for my innately crap disposition. The lipsticky clerk at Reese's dress shop stood back as I flipped through one baby-ass-looking item after another. I can almost hear the zing of every hanger. The gross patterns…

WHAT'S A FOOD TREND YOU FIND INTRIGUING? People are cooking more vegetables, especially on a restaurant level. Vegetables are becoming more than side dishes—really, they're the stars of the show. HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY? You try to be as playful as possible; you fool around and accept failure. WHAT IS THE LAST THING THAT INSPIRED YOU? Mulberries. They're unlike any berry you will ever taste—the queen and the king and the emperor of berries, times two. They're harder to find than truffles, so a bowlful of them with a few flowers sprinkled on top is the ultimate luxury. Then just sit there and indulge. WHAT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT DISH YOU'VE PREPARED? It's been a huge challenge to win people over to the idea of insects on the menu—for example,…

NEW YORK FASHION SHOWS are famous for their own particular brand of chaos: late-arriving models, frenzied last-minute adjustments, reporters dodging clouds of hair spray and swarms of assistants. Not so at Calvin Klein Spring 2014. The mood at Spring Studios in TriBeCa is calm, the surroundings pristine. The models are unharried (many are on exclusive contracts, so they have nowhere else to be). Hair and makeup gurus Guido Palau and Pat McGrath apply touch-ups as white-gloved dressers wait patiently nearby. Meanwhile, among the audience there's a flashbulb frenzy. A photographer-led melee has descended on a front row that holds Rooney Mara, Naomie Harris, and Nicole Kidman, the latter of whom describes Costa and his designs as "classic with a twist, which is how I'd describe Francisco too." Harris gushes: "He…

"Vere are ve now, Siena?" she asks Siena Oristaglio, her co-head of communications, in a low Slavic purr. "It's at $265,000," Siena reports. "Ah, this is great!" exclaims Abramovic´, who is often described as the world's greatest living performance artist and who, in recent years, has emerged as a pop phenomenon of near Warholian proportions—dancing at the Pace Gallery with Jay-Z for his performance piece Picasso Baby, gracing the…
